NBC broadcast Adele from Radio City Music Hall. Her performance was stellar. The sound of her voice and the band was crystal clear and well balanced. Nothing of real flash except for the string section rising up out of the floor like they used to do in back in the 30’s.

On the negative, this was a regular broadcast and there was an equal amount of commercials to her performance. Out of the hour, I’m thinking Adele performed for 30 minutes.

She embraced her emotional side and that just added to the power of her performance. She does some chit-chat between songs and natch, NBC had to bleep it.
